Prone while levitating?


Rules Questions


Is it a valid tactic to drop prone while levitating? Being prone gives you +4 AC vs. ranged attacks, which is why it is interesting.

The prone condition says you drop to the ground, so I can see where this may not be allowed.

What happens if you are prone and then levitate? Do you still retain the prone condition and need to stand up, or are you considered upright automatically?

Well, you can't trip flying enemies.

Good point. Seems reasonable to then assume you lose the prone condition if you fly or levitate, without having to take an action to stand up.

Nice little tactic.

So if you can Levitate (or fly) without drawing an AoO, do that when someone knocks you prone.
